16. You are entitled to your opinion just as I am
I personally think the tone of the thread that started THIS thread is insulting to women as I find many threads in the lounge to be. I don't think it's "laid back and fun" for a bunch of grown men to discuss women's bodies and looks, etc. If people were talking like that in a bar I was in I would surely not participate in the conversation and I would most likely sit as far away from them as possible.

You don't have a problem with it. That's fine. Have fun in the Lounge. I'm staying out. :hi:
